If I don't capture the girl, I will die

Then, he must help Mashiro solve it.

Ji Qi has also been thinking about what to do.

He even prepared a scenario in which Mashiro returned and was placed under house arrest by her parents, and then he had to rescue the girl!

However, what Mashiro's father means now is that he supports Mashiro?

what's the situation?

"During the time when Mashiro was away, I thought about it for a while and found that I did something wrong. It is irresponsible to blindly pass on my unfulfilled wishes and dreams to the next generation."

Eh, you're unexpectedly open-minded?

He originally thought that people from such artistic families were very rigid and stubborn.

Ji Qi glanced at Mashiro's father who looked a little emotional, and muttered to himself.

"Mashiro does have the talent for painting." Ji Qi said sincerely. He understood that when facing such a person who had spent half his life together, it would be better to speak the truth instead of lying and agreeing with him.

“However, a so-called artist should not be forced to become one by someone, even if it is a parent.”

Mashiro's father shook his head and said, "I am a painter who failed in his pursuit of his dream, but before that, I was also a father. It is not what a father should do to entrust these things to Mashiro and restrict her life."

"Mashiro also loves drawing, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stick with it for so long."

The positions of Himeshichi and Mashiro's father are reversed.

"But this is not what she wants to do most. And as a parent, when I see other children going out to play or go shopping, Mashiro is always drawing. I will feel guilty. This is also the reason why I agreed to let Mashiro come to Japan."

After all, it was my daughter's first request.

Mashiro's father looked at her with undisguised affection.

All the questions that lingered in Ji Qi's mind were answered.

He smiled and said, "Well, uncle, since you have handed Mashiro over to me, I have a few suggestions."

"I didn't give Mashiro to you."

"Mashiro has been immersed in the field of art for so many years. It would be a waste to just give up. Besides, Mashiro herself would not be willing to do so, right? So, my idea is to let Mashiro do what she wants to do while also trying to keep practicing painting."

After confirming the attitude of Mashiro's father, Ji Qi calmly expressed his opinion.

Yes, it doesn’t mean that Mashiro has to give up art to draw comics. She can take both into account, but it’s likely that Mashiro will be a little tired.

But there is no way, this is how the world is, you have to pay for what you get.

As an ordinary person without any talent, Ji Qi understands what Mashiro's talent represents, and believes that these efforts will be rewarded double in the future.

Even if he didn't have more money than he could spend in several lifetimes, and the confidence to "support" Mashiro for the rest of her life, he might have thought it would be better for Mashiro to focus on the art world.

At worst, the comics can be serialized more slowly and some assistants can be hired, which can save a lot of time.

Anyway, with his power in Shueisha, it would be no problem even if he gave Mashiro a separate listing.

"This is the best, what else?"

Mashiro's father nodded, showing an interested look.

"Then in the third year of high school, I will help Mashiro get admitted to the University of Tokyo. We can look after each other in the same school. After the four years of university, Mashiro will decide for herself what path she will take in the future. What do you think, uncle?"

Ji Qi looked directly into Mashiro's father's eyes and told him everything.

Hearing this, the elegant middle-aged man fell into deep thought. He could tell that Ji Qi had seriously considered this before saying it. He had academic qualifications, comics, and art. What was even more rare was that Ji Qi gave the choice to him and Mashiro.

He had to admit that Ji Qi's suggestion was really good, as he had not yet realized what would happen to his daughter after four or five years of being with a teenage man.

however……

Mashiro's father suddenly asked, "Why does Mashiro have to go to university in Japan?"

"Of course... the manga is serialized in Japan!"

"Because Seven wants to be with me."

Two voices said in unison.

"..." Ji Qi's mouth twitched. Hey, although this is the truth, don't say it directly! Didn't you see the terrible expression on father's face?

Mashiro's father took a deep breath, forced himself to ignore his daughter's suggestive remarks, and looked at Ji Qi seriously again.

He didn't expect that a boy who looked about the same age as his daughter could be so thoughtful.

We have all been through this stage and naturally understand what teenagers are thinking.

That's why I'm surprised.

Moreover, Ji Qi was calm and confident in his every move, giving people the feeling that he was not just talking big.

He recalled in his mind what Mashiro's cousin Yukinoshita Haruno and the fairy Yamada had said about Himeshichi.

He is already a well-known cartoonist at such a young age, and seems to have made great achievements in the field of finance. No wonder he could so casually say that we should go to the University of Tokyo together.

Mashiro's father seemed to be thinking about something. As a parent, it was impossible for him not to worry about his daughter's situation. The reason why he knew so much now and why he felt at ease letting Mashiro be alone in the unfamiliar Japan was because of the two lines of Mashiro's cousin Yukinoshita Haruno and the Yamada family.

Finally, he gave his answer.

"We'll talk about it then."

Author's message:

I have another update today! Pigeonmon Mega Evolution Warning!

Chapter 489 I'll wash it clean and wait for you

Can you just assume that I agree with this?

Ji Qi felt delighted, but before he could say anything, the airport suddenly began broadcasting flights to London Heathrow Airport.

Listening to the sweet female voice, Mashiro's father lowered his head and looked at his watch, "Then we should go through security. Is there anything else you want to say to them, Mashiro?"

Mashiro still had that nonchalant expression, and there was no change even when facing her father, but everyone present subtly sensed her reluctance.

Under the gaze of everyone, she took two steps forward and hugged Yamada Fairy and Ji Qi respectively, the latter for a little longer.

"I'll be back soon."

Mashiro said softly, as if making a double entendre.

Ji Qi smiled and nodded, glancing at Mashiro's father out of the corner of his eye. He swallowed all the nagging and preaching he had been about to say. After all, it was not appropriate to show affection in front of the elders like he did before. It was better to be serious and steady.

"Seven, remember to wash up and wait for me."

However, when he was caught off guard, Mashiro suddenly spoke in front of his father!

"Hey, hey, Mashiro, what are you talking about!"

"Then I'll wash up and wait for you."

“That’s not right either!”

Mashiro's expression was serious, Ji Qi was very panicked, and Mashiro's father frowned tightly, then he seemed to have figured something out and his brows relaxed.

"If you're done talking, we can go. It's better not to rush to wait for the plane."

In the delicate atmosphere, Mr. Shiina, whose expression could not be determined from the surface, gave a light reminder.

The girl followed her father quietly. Mr. Shiina picked up the luggage, but did not turn around and walk towards the security check. Instead, he said seriously:

"Since this is the path that Mashiro has chosen, I won't say anything more. But besides me, there must be other people who don't approve of Mashiro's choice, right?"

"Ah."

Ji Qi responded. Iida Ayano had indeed reported this matter to him recently, but he had not told Mashiro yet.

"It's no exaggeration to say that in the world of art and painting, Mashiro is already world-famous. I'm sure that once the media knows about this, the impact of this incident will become more and more serious. By then, you may also be involved."

"It's okay, I will handle this matter." Ji Qi smiled confidently.

Mashiro's father said with interest, "Oh? Can I hear your solution?"

"..."

Ji Qi slowly uttered a word that would make the self-righteous artist disdain, but at the same time extremely important.

As a man who grew up in an artistic family, Mr. Shiina's mouth twitched uncontrollably, but he had to admit that Ji Qi's plan was impeccable.

"I understand. Anyway, Mashiro, please bear with me in the future."

After saying his farewell words, Mashiro's father looked at Ji Qi meaningfully and turned away.

The two people who left passed the security check smoothly.

Before taking the escalator upwards, Mashiro turned her head slightly, her expression gentle, her cherry lips slightly open.

——At this moment, the whole world seemed to have turned into a still black and white picture, with only the dazzling cherry blossom-colored figure of the girl.

——She seemed to be saying something.

But because of the distance, he could only see the vague shape of Mashiro's mouth.

What did Mashiro say?

Ji Qi was stunned. To be honest, he had never learned lip reading and he really couldn't tell it. A classic anime scene was ruined by him.

But he had no choice. Being able to read specific words just from the murmurs of the lips must be something that only professionals could do, right?

I'll ask you about it when I get back.

Ji Qi thought secretly.

The Yamada Fairy next to him waved back and shouted, "I'll wait for you to come back!" and "I'll keep an eye on him for you!" and similar words, not caring at all that this was a crowded airport.

The two stopped their actions only when their backs were completely out of sight.

"Mashiro is gone."

Fairy Yamada lowered her head and muttered something. Although she had been very cheerful before, her voice now sounded a little lonely. There was nothing she could do about it. After living under the same roof for so long, he suddenly left. It was like something was missing in her heart.

"How about you follow along?"

Ji Qi made a joke.

"No, I want to go home too."

"Then I'll accompany you to meet your aunt?"

"I promised Mashiro not to run away!"

"Hey, hey, what do you guys usually talk about in private?"

"I won't tell you, huh."

The blonde loli made a face, and the lost atmosphere just now was also dissipated a lot.

"Okay, let's go back too." Ji Qi smiled and rubbed the fairy Yamada's golden hair - the things he usually wanted to do to Sagiri but couldn't do because of his image, can now be perfectly vented on her!

In other words, the way they usually get along is very much like brother and sister.

The middle school student slapped his hand away, but was not angry. He walked to his right at a moderate pace.

"I applied to Feng No Saki for high school."

On the way back, Yamada Fairy said suddenly.

"Can you pass the exam?" When they arrived at the parking lot, Ji Qi took out the car keys, opened the car door, and asked jokingly.

The girl raised her fist cutely, "Don't underestimate this genius!"

"Weren't you still close to Mashiro just now? Why don't you go to Suimei High School?"

Could they be superficial sisters?

Sitting in the driver's seat, Ji Qi asked.

"Well, why? It's a secret. I won't tell you."

For some reason, the Yamada fairy revealed a smile as warm and dazzling as the equator.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. But please give me more advice next year, junior high school girl."

Ji Qi shrugged without noticing anything, and before the car started, he extended a hand to the girl.

"Please give me your guidance."

This time, Yamada Fairy did not contradict him and gently held his hand.
